Holding onto our beliefs
Like a child holds to its father
It's like we're trying so hard to breathe
With our heads underneath the water
Keep trying to find the balance
Of our love and our convictions
'Cause we know that life in You
Moves far beyond religion
We know, we know
We know, we know
That nothing else even matters
But love
We keep trying to find a way
To come together
Lord, take these fears away
And make us one, one, one, whoa
Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one
We are the face of Christ
In a world of shadows
Is it God's love we're fighting for
Or our denomination's ego?
We got to let go of pride
Embrace the idea of difference
Make unity our calling
And move within forgiveness
We know, we know
We know, we know
That nothing else even matters
But love
We keep trying to find a way
To come together
Lord, take these fears away
And make us one, one, one, whoa
Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one
Imagine what could be, imagine what could change
If love was all that really mattered
Would the light of Christ finally shine through
Me and you?
Holding onto our beliefs

Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one
Make us one, one, one, whoa
Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one, oh
Make us one, one, one, whoa
Make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one, oh
Make us one, one, one, whoa
